Holy Geez...ONE MONTH!!!

ONE MONTH ONE MONTH ONE MONTH!!!

We are SO close to baby time its not even funny.

Last weekend we had an amazing shower with some of my favorite people in the entire world. It was so nice to get to spend time thinking about our little JoJo. It seems like I haven't really had a chance to sit and just think about her recently. Everything has been so crazy! Pretty soon, though, I will have plenty of time to sit and think of her and hold her and kiss her and squeeze her and talk to her and look at her. YAY!

We are slowly but surely getting her room completely set up. The crib is up and looking beautiful. When I'm home for a little while, I'll take some pictures and post them. But first, I need to get all the boxes out of our house. They are overwhelming us at the moment. Yesterday the girls made a tunnel out of them and had a blast. I think they will be sad when we throw them away. It's amazing how much fun a stroller box can be, let me tell you!

I start my every week appointments this Thursday. I can honestly say I am super excited about this one. Sunday I had a little scare. I thought my water might have broken, but it turns out that Jolee probably just pushed on my bladder a little too hard and I wet my pants :) Whoops! But I did find out that she is most likely dropping already, which is a GREAT sign! It means she is getting ready to come see us! WOOHOO!!

This week is pretty uneventful. We have Mariah and Caitlyn tonight for the last time this week, so we are gonna make spaghetti and hang out at the house all evening. Tomorrow is work and then I'm gonna run by the other branch that I work at and say goodbye to all the people I will miss there. Thursday is DAD'S BIRTHDAY!!!!! WOOT!!!! and also my doctor's appointment.

My last day of work is Friday and I'm very sad to say goodbye to everyone at Farmer's & Merchants. It has been such a great job and the people here have been amazing! I will definitely miss it, but little Jolee definitely takes priority right now.

Saturday we are going to celebrate Dad's birthday and July 4th...woohoo! We are going to a RedHawks game which will be great! Hopefully it won't be too hot for our JoJo. Sunday we have the girl's again for a little while, so I'm not sure what we are gonna do.

Next week, I plan on cleaning house on Monday, then I have an interview with a day care on Tuesday. I'm not sure why but this day care just kept popping into my head last week. I sent them a resume on a whim, just to see what would happen. They called me the next day to schedule an interview. I really don't know if it is something I want to do, but I thought it was at least a good idea to look into it. Who knows where it might take me? It looks like a really amazing place, so hopefully it is. Wednesday Aunt Gee (Christine) will be coming to hang out with me and I am SO SO excited to see her! We are going to meet Mollie for lunch and just be bums. It'll be wonderful. Thursday I'll have another doctor's appointment and hopefully my momhead will be able to go with me, although it's kind of short notice for her to get off work. I'd really like to go get a pedicure :) We'll see! Friday night we will have the girls again for the weekend. I have no idea what we are gonna do. Kyle is on call so probably just hang out at the house.

Time is just flying by like pigs on wheels...I don't know what that means....

Jolee will be 36 weeks Thursday. This is what Babycenter.com has to say...

"Your baby is still packing on the pounds — at the rate of about an ounce a day. She now weighs almost 6 pounds (like a crenshaw melon) and is more than 18 1/2 inches long. She's shedding most of the downy covering of hair that covered her body as well as the vernix caseosa, the waxy substance that covered and protected her skin during her nine-month amniotic bath. Your baby swallows both of these substances, along with other secretions, resulting in a blackish mixture, called meconium, will form the contents of her first bowel movement.At the end of this week, your baby will be considered full-term. (Full-term is 37 to 42 weeks; babies born before 37 weeks are pre-term and those born after 42 are post-term.) Most likely she's in a head-down position. But if she isn't, your practitioner may suggest scheduling an "external cephalic version," which is a fancy way of saying she'll try to coax your baby into a head-down position by manipulating her from the outside of your belly."

She is almost here!!!!
